Greg Cote Show podcast: Did Greg really kick a 50-yard field goal? Meet the only living eye-witness
In the newest episode of the Greg Cote Show podcast, out now, Greg is laid bare on claims of distant athletic prowess. Eye-witnesses are called in to testify -- to verify ... or not.
For years listeners of the Dan Le Batard Show With Stugotz have heard Greg make reference to having kicked a 50-yard field decades ago. The claim has become nearly legendary. Mythic folklore, almost.
More recently on Le Batard, Greg casually mentioned having beaten a former Miami Herald colleague, Phil Taylor, in a footrace decades ago.
Did any of it really happen?
We find out!
Taylor himself joins us to give his account of the race (with Greg’s wife Earleen brought in as well).
Then -- this is exciting -- we welcome in another former Herald colleague of distant yore, Hal Habib, the only living eye-witness we know of to Greg’s (claimed) 50-yard field goal other than Greg himself.
Here’s a promise: The recollections of both Phil and Hal are surprising to Greg. Find out why.
This is our 20th episode of 2022 and our 111th overall and we welcome you back as always.
